Shit. Upon further questioning it happened two years ago. Scalp and ears. Hair never regrew properly and she is suffering from debilitating migraines. Poor girl.

Long hair and PTO shafts are a bad combination.

China: Where it's cheaper to replace a worker several times than it is to put a guard on a rapidly spinning machine.
